روش‌های مختلف زیادی برای تولید نانوذرات نقره وجود دارد ولی استفاده از گیاهان به دلیل هزینه کم و سازگاری با محیط زیست در سنتز نانوذرات بسیار مورد توجه قرار گرفته است. در این مطالعه از عصاره آبی گل‌های خشک گونه گیاهی بومادران گل زرد برای احیای نیترات نقره و سنتز نانوذرات نقره استفاده شد. نانوذرات تشکیل شده بوسیله طیف‌سنجی نور ماوراء بنفش (UV-Vis)، میکروسکوپ الکترونی عبوری (TEM)، طیف‌سنجی فوریه مادون قرمز (FTIR) و دستگاه تعیین اندازه ذرات (PSA) مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت. تغییر رنگ از زرد کم رنگ به قهوه ای تیره تشکیل نانوذرات نقره را نشان داد. وجود پیک جذبی حاصل از آنالیز اسپکترومتری در طول موج nm 450 نشان‌دهنده تشکیل نانوذرات نقره می باشد. نتایج TEM نشان داد که شکل ذرات کروی و اندازه آنها برای عصاره A. wilhelmsii دامنه ای بین nm 50-26 می باشد. مطالعات FTIR نیز دخالت احتمالی گروه های احیا کننده بر سطح نانوذرات را نشان داد. نتایج حاصل از PSA نشان دهنده پلی دیسپریسیته پایین ذرات و مطلوب بودن عصاره برای سنتز نانوذرات نقره بود. بر این اساس اندازه ذرات سنتز شده nm 73/35 تعیین شد. بر اساس این نتایج می‌توان گفت که سنتز نانوذرات نقره بوسیله عصاره بومادران یک روش ساده، سریع، غیرسمی و زیست سازگار است و می تواند در زمینه غذایی، پزشکی و کشاورزی مورد استفاده قرار گیرد. تفاصيل المقالة

Nanoparticles have a wide range of applications due to their unique biological and physicochemical properties. Among metal nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles are of special importance due to their wide application. Although there are several chemical and physical methods for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, biological methods are more suitable due to their time and low energy, non-use of toxic solvents and biocompatibility. In this study, aqueous extract of dried flowers of Achillea eriophora (Shirazi yarrow) was used as a reducing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The reaction was performed at room temperature and showed a change in color from pale yellow to dark brown to form silver nanoparticles. UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and particle sizing (PSA) were used to evaluate the physicochemical properties of the formed nanoparticles. The presence of an absorption peak at a wavelength of about 450 nm confirmed the formation of silver nanoparticles. SEM results showed that, the shape of particles was spherical and their particle size ranges were from 38 to 144 nm. FTIR results also showed the role of reducing groups on the surface of nanoparticles. The results of PSA showed that the particles have low polydispersity and the extract is desirable for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Based on these results, it can be said that the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by Shirazi yarrow extract is a simple, fast, non-toxic and biocompatible method and can be used in food, medicine and agriculture. تفاصيل المقالة
